Retrieving Salesforce Standard and Custom Objects: A Quick Guide
When working with Salesforce development, it’s essential to know how to retrieve both standard and custom objects from your Salesforce instance using Salesforce CLI. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the syntax and commands required to retrieve these objects efficiently.

Retrieving Standard Objects
To retrieve a standard object without a custom suffix (__c), you can use the following Salesforce CLI command:

sf force:source:retrieve -m CustomObject:Account

This command will fetch the standard “Account” object from your Salesforce instance and make it available for further development or deployment.

Retrieving Custom Objects with __c Suffix
For custom objects in Salesforce that have a custom suffix, such as “__c,” you should use a slightly modified command. Here’s how to retrieve a custom object named “City__c”:

sf force:source:retrieve -m CustomObject:City__c

With this command, you’ll be able to retrieve the “City__c” custom object and incorporate it into your Salesforce project seamlessly.

By mastering the retrieval of both standard and custom objects, you can streamline your Salesforce development workflow and ensure that you have access to all the necessary components for your projects.
